once upon a time young young teenage me used to write fan fiction like my life depended on it, new fics every week and I had no idea there was someone out there printing out my fics and putting them in a box to read when they needed something to cheer them up
anyways fast forward to 20 year old me on my third date with Emily and she mentions offhand that she’s got this box of fic she printed out and saved
it’s a few months later after that and she shows me one of the fics in the box and holy shit that’s my garbage fic from so long ago
anyways my point is life is a fucking trip my dude
i still remember when we found this out. i don’t think either of us stopped yelling for hours
look it’s been eight years and I’m still like LMAO I MARRIED A FAN
This is the cutest thing I’ve ever read in my whole life
modern romance
My ex and I, who are still friends, started talking in the first place because she had been following my fanfiction and finally one day was like, ‘I was inspired by this thing you wrote and want to use this idea you said you got from the comics anyway, can I use this section of text since you already wrote it so well?’
I’ve known her for more than a decade now and we’ll still randomly call each other and talk for two hours like it hasn’t been seven months to a year since we last talked.
I mean, obvy the above story is the best and the Bomb and the dream but yeah. Modern romance!
